ABSTRAK Penyakit infeksi cacing merupakan penyakit terabaikan yang masih tinggi di Indonesia.Sanitasi dan kurangnya perilaku sehat menjadi penentu utama penyakit ini.Atopi yang dinyatakan berkaitan dengan infeksi cacing ini juga cukup tinggi di Indonesia.Atopi atau alergi dikaitan dengan kejadian akut dan kronis infeksi cacing.Gender dan umur diduga berkaitan pula dengan hubungan infeksi cacing dan atopi. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui keterkaitan gender dan kelompok umur anak sekolah terhadap infeksi cacing dan atopi sebagai bahan pertimbangan kebijakan program pengendalian infeksi cacing pada anak usia sekolah dan mengetahui efek infeksi cacing itu sendiri terhadap timbulnya suatu atopi. Kegiatan penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret-April 2011 dengan desain penelitian potong lintang.Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah murid kelas 3-5 Sekolah Dasar Negeri Kampung Baru, Kec. Kusan Hilir, Kab. Tanah Bumbu. Setiap anak dibagikan pot tinja untuk mendapatkan tinjanya dan diambil darahnya.Tinja diperiksa keberadaan telur cacing dan darah diambil serumnya untuk diperiksa dengan prosedur ELISA untuk menentukan status atopi.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa anak laki-laki lebih rentan terhadap infeksi cacing dan atopi, demikian pula anak dengan umur lebih muda, lebih rentan terinfeksi cacing dan menderita atopi dibandingkan dengan anak yang berusia lebih tua.Kedua penyakit berkaitan dengan faktor sanitasi dan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat.Direkomendasikan untuk meningkatkan program pengobatan infeksi cacing secara menyeluruh setiap enam bulan, meningkatkan sosialisasi perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat, memperbanyak fasilitas cucitangan ditempat-tempat umum, memperbaiki sanitasi lingkungan agar lebih sehat, dan lebih sering melakukan surveilans infeksi cacing pada anak sekolah. ABSTRACT Helminth infection still remain neglected disease which high prevalence in Indonesia. Lacks of sanitation and health behavior are main factors to this disease. Atopy stated correlating with helminth infection which either high prevalence in Indonesia. Atopy or allergy related with helminth infection acute and chronic. Gender and age suggested relating with correlation between helminth infection and atopy.The aim of the study is determined correlation gender and age factor toward helminth infection and atopy as the consideration policy to control this diseases and study the effect of helminth infection to atopy. The cross sectional study held on March-April 2011. Sample wasstudent grade 3-5 at Sekolah Dasar Negeri Kampung Baru, Kec. Kusan Hilir, Kab. Tanah Bumbu. Each child given feces container and their blood drawn up to revealed serum. Feces examined to found worm eggs and serum examined by ELISA to determine the atopic status.The result showed that boys more prone to both helminth infection and atopy than the girls, also the younger children more susceptible to helminth infection and atopi than the older ones. Both diseases related to sanitation and health behavior. Enhanced entire helminth infection cure is advice each six month gradually,increase health behavior education, upgrade the public sanitation in order to give more cleanly and healthy public area, and more often carry out the surveillances progra

Fasciolopsiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the flatworm Fasciolopsis buski. Since 1982, fasciolopsiasis has been reported in Indonesia's Hulu Sungai Utara (HSU) Regency, South Kalimantan Province. Fasciolopsiasis occurs when contaminated raw or undercooked aquatic plants are consumed. Cercariae of the parasite encyst in a variety of aquatic plants and grow into metacercariae that infect and reproduce in the human intestine. Until now, treatment for F. buski infection in the HSU Regency has been comparatively short, with patients receiving only a single dose of praziquantel, 30 mg/kg body weight, without further observation. A long-term effort through health promotion activities and intensive health education, particularly for elementary school children enrolled in the School Health Program, is ongoing to help prevent fasciolopsiasis from spreading and to improve environmental sanitation. Through 2018, intervention efforts successfully reduced the incidence of F. buski in...
